Illustration of the fitting process using the example of voxel-wise fitting. The PixelBasedParameterFitGenerator computes the fits concurrently for all relevant voxels (identified by the optional mask). The generator interacts with a ModelParameterizer and a ModelFitFunctor instance that should be used for the generation. The control flow (red, double stroked arrows) of the generation process loops through the step 1 to 5 for each voxel index. Output is, besides the parameter images, a criterion image (representing the final cost function value of the fit), evaluation maps (representing additional user defined measures for fit quality) and optional debug images (containing ModelFitFuctor specific information like number of iteration or met stop criterion of a fit). Value class instances (green boxes) refer to input/output that is considered simple data. Base class instances (blue box) represent any derived class and are part of the abstraction
